Copying selected value out of a table and then validating the selected value SAP Personas 2

[former_member105930]

hi experts,

I currently have some scripting that copies a date from a field in a table that is highlighted by the user and pastes them into custom text fields. This is the script:

What I then need to do, should the user then press the 'Change Record' button:

is to check to see if the selected startdate that has been pasted into the custom startdate field, is earlier than a specified date (which will be 01.04.203), but I am struggling to find out how to do this in Personas 2.

Can anyone help me with this?

thanks,

Ian

I would create Javascript date objects by parsing the string into day/month/year components and passing the values to the Date object's constructor, and then you can just compare the dates. Something like this:

// First pick apart the strings into year/month/day and then feed them into
// something like this...
var date1 = new Date(2016, 3, 28); // Today - months are 0-11 var date2 = new Date(2016, 3, 21); // Last week if(date2 < date1) {     // do stuff } 

Does that make sense?

Thanks as always Steve.

We did parse the string as suggested, then used this as a numerical value to work out if the date was earlier or greater than a specific date as follows:

It may be complicated but it does the job.

We are moving to Version 3 shortly so this will become somewhat easier I hope .

thanks again Steve,
